The following amusing incident,
which took place recently In u Fourth
avenue car. Is told in the New York
World, II was the upward bound car
ut 4 IN the afternoon. Ayoung woman
got in briskly, promptly contributed her
nickel, and turned back the cover of
her magazine. She WINS reading the
last number Of Miss Murfrec's I'm the
Clouds in tho atlantic. The car filed
up until all the seats were taken, and
then tho conductor rang to let on u
woman. 1t was an old one this time,
some sixty or more, slim and frail. with
white hair and an old-fashioned bon
net. She had quite an extensive parcel
in her arms, and there was no seat for
her, 80 she stood directly in front of the
girl with the magazine. The young
woman read on for q page and then
she looked up and seemed astonished to
find tho old lady still there. She laid
down her book and glanced around.
There were four or five women in the
car; all the rcst were men. She waited
a minute and then she got up and said
to the old lady: Wont you be good
enough to take my seatp"
The elder woman refused. depre-
catingly, out the young one insisted.
''You must, you know. You're SO much
older than /, that I'd be ashamed to sit
down while you stood" Then she
caught u strap with her gloved hand
and smiled resolutely. The old lady
sat down, and the men began to retire
behind their papers until nothing could
be seen but their hats. At the end Of
the third block n man was SO con-
sumed with a desire for q little light
that he went out and stood
beside the driver and said he thought it
was going to rain. The conductor
came and tapped the young woman,
who was deep in her book again, on
the shoulder, and told her there was a
seat" Pretty soon another woman got
in, and three men offered her sitting
room. The car was up ear Twenty
third street then. and women dropped
in faster and faster: not Of them
stood up. The men grew emulous
about it, and when n female appeared
in the rear door they rose en- masse
and disputed rs to whose seat she should
take.
1t was q complete masculine rout.
The young oma in the blue gown
seemed to have found something very
funny in her magazine, for sine was
quietly consumed with laughter behind
its pages.

s.onewsIl jackson and the Cadets.

NV introduction to him, when / was
a cadet and fourth-class man. was as fol-
lows: In September Maj. Jackson re-
turned from his summer leave Of alb
sence, was ut his post preparing the
second class for its course in applied
mechanics. 1 was. in cadet parlance, q
and heard from tho old cadets wonderful
stories Of Maj. Jackson's strictness in
adhering to discipline. One day. about
10 A. NJ. as 1 was going to my quarters
from the classroom. I was hailed by an
officer, as / supposed, and called into a
room on the second stOop of the bar
racks. There l found several cadets.
dressed in blue coats, with swords and
sashes. The one who had hailed me
said rather sharply to q secretary. who
was seated by a table and busily writ
ing: MAKE out that rcquisition and
send it by this plcbc to the quarter-mas-
ter. and you, fellow, take it to that
Office" pointing to q room. 'Get the
officer there to sign it, and then 60 up
town and bring what it calls for. BE
quick about il. ] must have it here be-
fore dinner ~roll-call." l touched my
cap. as l had been taught when l spoke
or was spoken to by an officer, and
walked briskly to the door Of the Don
that had been designated. l knocked,
a cadet opened the door. and asked
what | wanted. i informed him that l
had n paper for the officer in there. He
took in the situation, and allowed me
to enter. l walked up to the officer.
who was seated on II rostrum, looking
at a book before him. Before he had
time to raise his eyes. l had doffed my
cap and was presenting my requisition
in rs polite n manner as j could as
sumo. He took the paper, gave it a
hasty glance. and, without changing
c~ountenance, pointed to n bench near
him and ordered me to wait until he
dismissed the class. The cadets who
were not mt tho blackboards gave me
significant looks, and with difficulty
concealed their merriment.
was woefully uncomfortable, but
kept my seat until the recitation was
| concluded and class dismissed. The
| officer OF instructor then addressed me
with q kind, pleasant smile on his face:
'.Do you know what this paper con-
tainsp" / had risen from the seat l &C.
| cupfed and stood before him, cap in
hand. In reply to his question | told
him how it came into my possession,
and what 1 was ordered to do with it.
That I did not know one-half the officers,
and rs the gentleman who gave me the
order wore Il blue coat. sash and sword
l supposed he had authority. He said
he did not ccnsurc INC at all; that the
cadets were i'm the habit of quizziDg the
newcomers. and someone was playing
q Joke on me. The order l brought was
u bogus reguisition for h%alf-heeled
socks, picked crow bars, and u box OF
| Spex' best cigars. l had not dared tc
open tho order, and when advised o.
its absurd nature my embarrassment
was painful. He observed this. and tC
laelicvc me he asked me how long l had
been at the institute, from what part o.
the state | hailed. etc. His manner be-
fore the class was stern, he sat cree
with his coat buttoncd to the chin, blu
now he was kind and pleasant, and
shall never forget my first encountc
with Stonewall Jackson. -Biroaac.
